Default RE: weight of broadhead

Rev,

More modern shooters user 100 gr or 125. Being a professional target guy doesn't make you the best hunter.

You can not compare broadheads to bullets. bullets use shock to kill. arrows use the broadhead to cut.

The same guys that say you don't need heavy draw weightbows say you need heavy arrows. A 420 gr arrow with a 100 or 125 gr tip will kill anything in North America, period.

10% or 18 or 50% FOC. A BH cuts through the vitals the deer is dead. Especially when you have 81 fp KE or over .50 slug feet of momentum.
